Chapter 90: Siege
That night, the seven soldiers of the town who were captured in Facao Yamen were tortured but had no useful information.
Early the next morning, Li Xiaobai and Wen Wan came to the Shangjun Prefecture Assassin's Mansion again.
Thorn Swin Wuji recounted what happened to the ninja who was let go.
"The ninja was seriously wounded, and with the whole city under heavy scrutiny, he had no way out, so he took the risk of poisoning the drinking water of the residents, and when he was found, he was killed because of his stubborn resistance. However, because of the difficulty of checking the wells, more than 100 residents died of poisoning in the early hours of this morning, all of them vendors in Caili Hutong, because they got up in the early morning and rushed to the vegetable market, so they were poisoned without noticing. ”
When Wen Wan heard this, she felt sad.
"I shouldn't have let him go!"
Wen Wuji immediately comforted.
"How can we blame the third prince for this, this is our plan, since he killed himself, he didn't contact anyone else, which means that the detailed work of the town border army in Shangjunzhou has been wiped out by us. ”
"Well, I didn't expect so many people to die, it was our negligence. However, if the details of the town border army cannot be cleaned up, the damage caused will be even greater when the war begins. ”
Li Xiaobai was also a little remorseful.
......
Wen Wen had breakfast at home and was going out again.
"Little boy, you really can't leave us and run around this time, otherwise we will be scolded!"
Lin Yu said depressedly.
"Don't worry, if you follow me this time, I won't run around, before the third sister and brother-in-law come back, we will go home, unaware!"
"Hopefully. ”
Lin Yu and Li Zhenghong reluctantly followed Wen Wen out of Wen Mansion.
......
When Wen Wen and the three of them walked to the front of the land temple in Caili Hutong, a group of children sat around without playing, and there was a seven or eight-year-old girl who was crying incessantly.
"What's wrong? What's going on? Why is Xiaocao crying?"
Wen Wen walked over and asked.
"Little Fifth Brother is here, Xiaocao's parents were poisoned by drinking water this morning, and now they are all dead, Xiaocao has no relatives!"
A slightly older boy said.
Seeing Wen Wen, Xiaocao cried even more sadly.
"Well, how can this be?"
Wen Wen didn't expect that before the war began, the little girl next to him would become an orphan!
He was simple-minded, and he didn't think about how cruel the war was, and he didn't know how many families were destroyed and displaced because of the war, and he didn't know that after this war, thousands of orphans would be created.
He has always simply wanted to bring happiness to others, especially this group of children, just like his younger brothers and sisters, Wen Wen is also very sad.
"Xiaocao, don't cry, can you go home with your brother, my brother will take care of you!"
......
Wen Wen returned to the Wen Mansion with Xiaocao, and was sullen all the time.
Lin Yu didn't know what to say when he saw all this.
......
Yuwen Feiyang received a military order from the general Xiao Chaotian, telling him that Chang'an City would soon be broken, and asked him to lead the army south as soon as possible and join Chang'an City.
In fact, the reason why Xiao Chaotian wanted Yuwen Feiyang to come to Chang'an City so urgently was that he didn't say it explicitly, Yuwen Feiyang could guess it.
Xiao Chaotian hopes to conquer Chang'an City and become the emperor!
Because the destruction of Chang'an City means that the national glory of the Tang Empire has been broken, even if it can survive for a few years, it is unable to regain its former glory.
If Xiao Chaotian didn't want to be the emperor, he wouldn't have rebelled, because he was now in a high position, and if he went up, he could only be the emperor himself.
As Xiao Chaotian's favorite general, when he is so glorious, of course he hopes that Yuwen Feiyang can be present.
Yuwen Feiyang didn't expect that the battle on the side of the great general Xiao Chaotian would go so smoothly.
Originally, he wanted to besiege Shangjunzhou City, and when the morale of the people in the city was extremely low, he would launch a thunderous blow.
Since it's too late, let's start the siege!
......
Li Xiaobai and Wen Wan hadn't left the Assassin's Mansion yet, and someone hurriedly came over to report the military situation.
"Report to your lord, the border army outside the city has begun to move frequently, catapults and ladders have been launched, and it is estimated that the city will be attacked soon!"
Hearing the news brought by the captain guarding the city, the three of them took a deep breath, the time to come is finally coming!
......
Yuwen Feiyang did not attack on all sides at the same time, but only concentrated his forces to attack the east gate first.
Three thousand surrendering soldiers pushed siege engines, followed by two thousand infantry from the border army, catapults and heavy crossbows lined up within range.
......
Wen Wuji, Li Xiaobai, and Wen Wan stood on the city wall, looking at the siege soldiers who were slowly approaching. The soldiers of the Shuofang army defending the city were also on standby.
Most of the soldiers of these Shuofang Army are inextricably related to the three clans of Longshan, and the remaining ones have been slowly assimilated in Shangjunzhou City for a few years, because the inheritance of the three clans of Longshan is too strong!
In fact, Shangjun Prefecture itself is only one of the fifteen military towns of Guanlong nobles a thousand years ago, and later the Guanlong nobles swept the sand and became the Guanlong Seven Lords, and other military towns also slowly disappeared, only Shangjun became stronger and stronger, and finally became a window of Longshan, and people within a radius of 100 miles near Shangjun Prefecture City can be traced back to the Guanlong nobles of the past, which is also one of the connotations of Longshan all the time.
Therefore, the defenders of these Shuofang armies are no different in thinking from the thousand soldiers in the city, they all regard Shangjunzhou City as their home, even if there is a huge disparity in strength and nine deaths, there will never be a trace of cowardice.
......
Getting closer and closer to the city wall, the soldiers in front of the army could only put life and death out of the way, more than a hundred flying bridges were erected horizontally on the moat, and the siege soldiers behind were walking on the ground.
Under the cover of trebuchets and heavy crossbows, they finally approached the city wall, and the ladder was finally erected on the city wall!
Boulders flew down the city walls, smashing scars, some of which fell into the walls, and some of the soldiers were injured. The heavy crossbow is fired like a flying locust, and the crossbow arrows like spears hit the city wall, it will make a deafening sound, and the crossbow arrows shot into the city wall, once someone is hit, they will inevitably be penetrated, and they will die even if they do not die.
The defenders on the city wall, while dodging the boulders and Feinu, shot arrows at the siege soldiers on the ladder, and some people pushed down the prepared boulders, and the siege soldiers who couldn't dodge below were immediately smashed into a blur of flesh and blood, and some people splashed boiling water and boiling oil on the ladder to climb the soldiers.
Screams were heard from above and below the city, inside and outside the city! Once the war began, it became a purgatory on earth, and countless lives were ruthlessly harvested in a very short period of time!
These soldiers, whom they have never met, are like enemies for generations when they see each other, fighting for their lives without mercy!
War has turned everyone into beasts, and once gentle and elegant gentlemen have become hideous-faced demons! The once filial and gentle sons have also become ruthless executioners!
......
The one who starts the war is crazy, and every soldier who throws himself into the battlefield is just as crazy!
When ruthlessly taking the life of the opponent, there is no good and evil in everyone's heart, only endless killing!
......
